August 21

If I had just passed by when I saw and smelt that woman who was eaten up by rats - her face, her legs, I could not have been a Missionary of Charity today. But I returned, picked her up and took her to a local hospital. If I had not, the Society would have died. Feelings of repugnance are human but if I see the face of Jesus in His distressing disguise, I will be holy.
